Good Points

The Lasko 6405 Designer Oscillating Ceramic Heater has the following benefits:

Oscillating Ceramic Element - This Lasko 6405 heater features widespread oscillation, which makes it ideal for thoroughly heating any room.

Thermostatic Control - The thermostat is easily adjustable so it can meet the users needs; it features a low, medium, and high setting. The Lasko 6405 also has an automatic setting to offer thermostat-controlled heat based on the current temperature of a room.

Powerful Heating - The heater provides an excellent amount of comforting warmth, as it is powered by 1500 watts of energy.

Quiet Operation - This unit features two quiet settings so that users can enjoy their warmth without the loud fan that is commonly associated with personal space heaters.

User Friendly Controls - It is operated by electronic touch control that is widely regarded by reviewers as user-friendly and simple to understand.

Timer Operation - The timed settings for the heater range between one hour and seven hours. The degree settings are in increments of five starting at 65 degrees and going up to 85 degrees. Additionally, there is a "max" setting for high-powered heating; this product feature makes it an ideal space heater for larger rooms during cold winter months.

Safety - The Lasko 6405 Designer Oscillating Heater has a number of safety features, making it an ideal choice. The unit has an automatic shut-off timer to prevent accidents related to overheating. This space heater is also ETL listed, which means that the item meets the mandatory product safety standards.

Points to Note

Tempering – The Lasko 6405 Designer Oscillating Heater often has a strong plastic smell when unpacked. This can be dealt with by switching it on in an open space, preferably outdoors and leaving for a few hours so that the coatings the manufacturers use are effectively removed. Once done there should be no residual smell when in use.

Safety – the Lasko 6405 does incorporate an automatic shut-off in the event that the heater gets too hot when in use. However it does not have a automatic “tip-over” shut-off which might possibly result in some slight damage to its environment in the event that the heater was knocked over..

Verdict

The Lasko 6405 Designer Oscillating Heater is an attractively designed and well constructed portable space heater. The design allows it to appear to be part of the furnishings in the room unlike many other portable space heaters which are less attractive to look at. It is also lightweight and relatively small, being about the size of a table lamp or an indoor plant pot.

The purchase price of the Lasko 6405 ceramic heater is very affordable, being available from Amazon at around the $50 mark (click here for the latest price). It is slightly smaller and lighter than its sister space heater the Lasko 6435 ceramic heater, but it does not have a remote control to operate it from a distance.

All in all this is a great space heater for most homes, offering a good even heating experience in an attractive design and a very affordable price.
